Health care ruling in 30 days, judge says

U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson promised a decision within 30 days on whether Virginia has standing to challenge the federal health care law.

The judge heard about two hours of arguments today on the federal government’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

“From time to time it’s up to the states to remind the federal government of its constitutional boundaries and to push back when it oversteps its authority,” Cuccinelli said in a news conference following the hearing.
